1 Mangalloy is made by alloying steel with manganese. The percentage by mass of manganese
in mangalloy can be determined by converting all the manganese in the alloy into aqueous
manganate(VII) ions and then using the solution to titrate aqueous iron(II) sulfate.
No indicator is needed for this titration as the products of the reaction are almost colourless and
one drop of aqueous manganate(VII) ions in excess produces a permanent pale pink colour.
P is an aqueous solution of manganate(VII) ions, MnO4–. The solution was prepared by converting
all the manganese in a 2.12 g sample of mangalloy into manganate(VII) ions and making the final
volume up to 250 cm3 by adding water.
Q is 0.0800 mol / dm3 iron(II) sulfate.
(a) Put P into the burette.
The colour of P makes it difficult to see the bottom of the meniscus so you should take all your
readings using the top of the meniscus.
Pipette a 25.0 cm3 (or 20.0 cm3) portion of Q into a flask.
Add P from the burette. At first the purple colour disappears quickly but as more P is added
the colour disappears less quickly. At the end-point, one drop of P produces a pale pink colour
that does not disappear on swirling.
Record your results in the table, repeating the titration as many times as you consider
necessary to achieve consistent results.
